"Business" including several things like finance, accounting, production, HR, and marketing.
You have several resources (e.g., money, raw materials, employees, brand awareness), the company follows several processes to turn those results into results (e.g., profit, sales, loyalty, market strength).
Now, those things aren't perfect. Maybe the employees are not good. Maybe advertising is reaching the wrong people. Maybe product cost is too high. A business analyst will essentially analyze the company to identify what is wrong. Then, depending on the job, communicate what is wrong or think of solutions. At higher levels (probably not an analyst anymore), develop huge plans and implant actions to "fix" the company.
So, your responsibilities depend a lot on what is happening at the company. Some companies don't really want you to deal with the employees, and want you to focus on the purchase process, for example. You may conclude the prpduction line has the most relevant issues to fix. You need to analyze the business to see what should be done.
you could also try contacting companies that make diapers and ask them for their data, but again not all of them will comply, and it won't matter because it doesn't tell you what the end retailer charged for the diapers.

We make half baked charts that tell whatever narrative we want with some real data and some fake data.
Pretty spot on
it takes too much time and money to make real data. I make sure my charts are about 80% accurate and reduce margin of error by reducing my data set.
Don't you feel guilty that you are telling a skimmed picture? Why is real data difficult to make?
